Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Chapter 801 Lin Jiayou: 'An old acquaintance'...

"what happened?"

Shiho Miyano turned her head to look at Chia-Yu Hayashi and asked him a question.

She suddenly noticed that Cherry's demeanor had changed; she seemed a little more serious.

Lin Jiayou looked at Shirley with some surprise when she asked him that question.

Wow, that's impressive! Is it because they've spent so much time together, or has Sherry's skill improved? She can actually sense the change in his mindset...

"nothing,"

Lin Jiayou spoke calmly.

"I just saw a few familiar faces..."

"acquaintance?"

Sherry raised an eyebrow, asking with some curiosity,

"Was this done by the organization?"

"What important materials within the research institute are of interest to any organizations?"

"Or is it that some organization has taken a liking to a scientist there..................................."

"This matter, I hope it won't involve me in some way..."

It's understandable that she thought that way, after all, it was a research institute on fire...

And what the organization excels at most is committing murder and arson after the crime itself...

As for what kind of organizations within the research institute are interested in?

Basically, it's nothing more than important research data or important scientists....................................

If it's research material, then it's stolen and destroyed to ensure no one notices.

Even if someone guesses it, there's no way to prove it, and no way to investigate...

As for the scientists, they're even easier to handle—

Bring a dead body over and dump it at the fire scene, creating a fake corpse to replace the deceased, so there's no way to verify the truth.................................

What? You mean the forensic department can detect this?

Don't be ridiculous, how could an organization be so careless in its work?

Even if a body is found, it will most likely have to have been burned alive, and even DNA testing mechanisms must be taken into account—

This isn't difficult to do. All they need to do is have one of Cherry or Vermouth infiltrate the organization and switch them out at the opportune moment.

Such a well-practiced, assembly-line murder process can guarantee at least a 90% similarity rate.

As for the remaining ten percent...

Heh, don't blame Miss Sherry for looking down on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Those scoundrels and seasoned veterans in the forensic department could easily ignore something even if it were placed right in front of them.

Otherwise, the Metropolitan Police Department's reputation wouldn't have been so easily trampled on by the detectives of Tokyo...

As for why Sherry would suspect it was related to her, that's even simpler—

Shirley herself works in this field, dealing with both research materials and scientists; it's obvious who she's connected to...................................

"I'm sorry, no,"

Lin Jiayou spoke calmly, shaking his head at Shirley.

Hearing him say that, Shiho Miyano actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"call--"

"Thank goodness it wasn't..."

She patted her chest and smiled with relief.............................

If it's related to me, then it means the organization has a new research idea...

In the end, won't it be you who suffers and endures the hardship?

It's okay, it's okay, that's the best thing.........................................

"Those acquaintances aren't from our organization either..."

Lin Chia-yu added another sentence.

Sherry was stunned this time.

Not a member of the organization?

She initially thought it had nothing to do with her, but it turns out that those who did the dirty work weren't even members of the organization...

That person isn't from the organization, so it could be an acquaintance. Doesn't that mean...................................

"Those guys?"

Sherry raised an eyebrow again, and a hint of excitement could be faintly detected in her voice....................................

Lin Jiayou glanced at her and shook his head helplessly.

Honestly, maybe I shouldn't have taught her anything like martial arts...

Now, things have gotten really messy. A perfectly healthy, highly educated female scientist is turning into a violent woman...................................

Hmm, it's definitely not just my problem......................

It must be Chianti. She spent so much time with Sherry that she gradually transferred her own hostility onto Sherry...

Yes, that's right, that must be it..........................................

Lin Jiayou thought to himself.

On the surface, he still calmly denied Shiho Miyano's guess.

"Don't even think about it, it's not one of those guys you're thinking of..."

"They're just a bunch of spineless little rats, even worse than them............................................."

"I see.............................."

Sherry cooperated by feigning sudden realization.

Then, she rubbed her hands together excitedly, eager to try.

"Since it's so bad, then let me do it..."

"Sitting in the lab for too long, you sometimes want to move around a bit..."

"Don't,"

Lin Jiayou waved his hand.

"It's not your turn yet."

"Even if I agreed, Gin wouldn't prevent such a talented researcher like you from being sidelined and sent on field missions..."

"It's better to leave this kind of thing to our action team....................................."

"Alright then............................."

Sherry's interest vanished instantly, and she nodded dejectedly.

Lin Jiayou ignored her and instead dialed Gin's number.

"Hey, get ready to move..."

"Ok?"

Gin first asked in confusion, then the faint sound of a gun being cocked could be heard from the other end of the phone...

Immediately afterwards, Gin's cold words came through.

Have you chosen your target?

"And is your apprentice ready as well?"

"That's not it................................."

Lin Chia-yu categorically denied it.

Gin's face, which had been radiating murderous intent, suddenly darkened.

"You're not prepared at all, what are you talking to me about...................................."

"It's not about the mud ginseng association,"

Lin Jiayou watched TV while turning on the replay function.

That's the advantage of having a TV set in an organized building; you can rewind any part of the broadcast, even live, if you don't want to continue watching.

Although almost all televisions in later generations can do this, it's still quite novel now.................................

"You can check tonight's news,"

Lin Jiayou held the phone and spoke calmly to Gin.

"You might see some familiar faces on it..."

"Humph!"

Gin scoffed, completely ignoring Lin Jiayou's suggestion.

"I do not watch."

"Speak your mind, or shut up."

"A guy with no zest for life................................"

Lin Jiayou spoke in a flat voice and with great disdain for Gin.

He didn't keep us in suspense and said it directly.

"A research institute burned down early this morning."

"The news said it was arson, and they even showed a two-second clip of CCTV footage from the research institute at the time..."

"From that surveillance footage, I can see that the guys who started the fire and the guys who ate our goods are the same group..."

"Um?!"

Gin initially didn't take Lin Jiayou's words seriously.

Later, until the very last sentence, he suddenly perked up...

It's not that these guys are particularly difficult to deal with, but rather...

Gin is vengeful; even for the smallest, least damaging offense, he'll make sure the offender suffers a severe blow.

"sure?"

Gin, with a serious expression, asked Lin Jiayou in a cold voice.

Lin Jiayou nodded.

"It's almost certainly true..."

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the research institute and the Metropolitan Police Department to check and get their surveillance videos."

"If we compare it to our situation at the time, and if we confirm that the number of the other party matches the group that stole our goods..."

"That's basically it."

"it is good,"

Gin nodded.

He narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them.

"Anyway, find them and take action first."

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free; what if we kill the right one...?"
